Community Tennis
Community Tennis
strives to grow tennis at every level with a goal of making the game
accessible to everyone. It supports a wide range of programs designed
to help people learn the game, play the game, and benefit from its many
health/fitness and social benefits.
Community Tennis is also working hand in hand with the USTA’s seventeen sections, committed volunteers, and industry partners on the largest new player initiative that tennis, or any other sport, has ever conducted—to promote the benefits of tennis to new players and drive them to one of the thousands of Tennis Welcome Center facilities across the country that offer introductory group lessons and playing opportunities for new or lapsed players.
Professional Tennis
